The Nomai explorers were horrified when they learned the comet contained highly pressurized exotic matter, which was quickly becoming unstable as the comet approached the Sun. The Nomai, having recently learned of the failure of the Sun Station, discovered a mysterious comet that had just entered the Solar System and which they were eager to explore. Their goal was to induce a supernova in the local Sun using the Sun Station, causing the Ash Twin Project to receive enough power to send information back in time by 22 minutes. When their initial Eye Signal Locators on both the Attlerock and Brittle Hollow failed, they constructed much more sophisticated machines such as the Orbital Probe Cannon, Sun Station, and Ash Twin Project in order to locate the Eye of the Universe. Their ultimate goal remained to find the Eye of the Universe, despite the loss of their Vessel. Their artifacts and structures can be found on all celestial bodies in the solar system. When their Vessel was disabled, they initially settled on Ember Twin and Brittle Hollow, on which they built the Sunless City and Hanging City respectively, before expanding outwards to explore the rest of the Solar System. Unfortunately due to the actions of the inhabitants of the Stranger, this was only a temporary signal pulse, preventing them from precisely locating the Eye and stranding them in Dark Bramble. The Nomai are revealed to have traveled to the Solar System in search of the Eye of the Universe when they detected a signal. What little is known about them can be found in the Observatory with more detailed information found in their writings spread throughout the Solar System. This is a common interface with their technology, and that interface functions perfectly well for Hearthians, which would be unnecessary if it was a native Nomai ability it is therefore almost certainly the result of their advanced technology.Ĭoleus and Cycad encountering prehistoric Hearthians on Timber Hearth.Įarly Nomai history before they arrived in the Solar System is largely unknown. The Nomai appeared to have some degree of telekinesis, the ability to move or manipulate objects with their minds, which is demonstrated by Solanum lifting and stacking rocks in order to communicate with the protagonist. Nomai are frequently seen carrying a technologically advanced scepter, which allows them to record information on solid surfaces for written communication. Their mastery of these technological fields allowed them to construct massive machines that would be used to further their goal of locating the Eye of the Universe. They had the capacity to create and manipulate black holes, build spaceships, travel between galaxies, and at their peak could even send information back in time. The Nomai demonstrated a mastery of many highly technical and theoretical fields including faster-than-light travel, quantum mechanics, zero-G construction, and time manipulation. This could mean that either this is their only way of communicating, or that they have some sort of voice-to-text device. One strange observation is that some text is written as if it was said in the moment (a good place to see this is the record inside the Interloper core). The text is sometimes written on walls read off of circular pillars seen as hovering discs displaying different statistics (such as departure-arrival times after a warp) or accessed by a scroll, tablet, or 'recording' device. The Nomai write the text by 'typing' it in on a staff-like tool and pressing the opposite end onto a surface. The Nomai language is written in curving branches, often with each new branch coming from a different individual. The Nomai also showed extreme care when mining Timber Hearth for resources to construct the Ash Twin Project, taking precautions as to not disrupt the primitive life developing there. This is demonstrated by Idaea's argument against using the Sun Station to cause the local Sun to go supernova, as failure would result in the destruction of all life in the Solar System. The Nomai have a strong preference for non-interference and a strong desire to protect lesser-evolved life forms. Each clan sent an envoy to present their clan's discoveries since the last festival. Every ten years, the Nomai clans would meet at a festival dedicated to celebrating their species' discoveries. The Nomai have an unquestionable aptitude for exploration and discovery. Each clan lived within a Nomai Vessel, a spaceship outfitted with an Advanced Warp Core that allowed the clan to explore the universe. The Nomai race consisted of multiple clans.
